What Music Means to Me

Music gives me an outlet to be free and reckless in believing what I want to believe. Music gives me a cure from the everyday diseased world, it gives me an opportunity to listen and feel what I listen to, without anyone telling me that is not right. When I listen to and write music, it is able to cleanse me, by listening and relating to how others feel, or simply to let go of all my thoughts and be who I want to be. The genre of music that is able to give a sense of real life, and real stories behind them all; is the genre of underground rap/hip hop. Every single song, comes with a story board, a plot, a relatable subject, and lines that mean something to the writer and possibly the listener. The number one artist that I am listening to right now in the underground industry is Logic. The name may say it all, but Logic has a way of embracing his stories without any care. Many songs come to mind when I think of Logic, but the one that I have been listening to nonstop as of late is the song off of his new Album Under Pressure called "Nikki" in his song, he relates back to when he was a addicted to nicotine, he reveals all and how it broke down his life, in this song he writes, "Everyday I wonder who i am, who will i be, where will i go/ What will they write upon my grave?" I can relate so much to this line, this question, questions my way of thought, I wonder how will people understand who I am after I have recorded and wrote all on paper. "Every body talks and every body listens and somehow the truth always comes up missing" This line comes from Drake's "Say What's Real" this also gives me a sense and how to question the world and what the truth actually means in the world.
